Boise versus Oregon

Oregon beat Idaho 24-14. Boise won at Georgia Southern 56-45.

Unless Oregon didn't bring their varsity team to the game, then they are more beatable than ever. Not that Boise showed that they are world beaters. Both are hyped based on their names versus their products on the field. Oregon is currently favored -19.5. I don't see them winning by that margin, if they win.

I think that Boise, should they win, will become the top G5 and ranked about 18.

Official Game Thread UNLV at Houston

According to their fans, they think UH will be able to handle UO better than they handled UNLV. To be honest, I am glad that Coach O took the air out of the ball after the first quarter. By the 2nd half, I think the 3 strings got to play. Our coach is winning approval from other coaches across the country but for ranking purposes I am not sure that is a good route? Again, Coach O knows more than we do
Coach O addressed this issue by saying this season is a marathon, not a sprint. I believe he’s building up the team the RIGHT way and keeping them focused on the overall picture.

In the back of their minds, I know Odom and the staff have Kansas circled on the calendar since the last bowl game. As someone said, the roster additions seemed to have stemmed from the flaws that Kansas exposed, you don’t want Kansas to have too much tape on any new wrinkles with these additions.

Let’s talk about Utah Tech (week 2)

I hope the Rebels go easy on Utah Tech. But they will always be Dixie St to me!!
Always liked Dixie State, unfortunately they changed the name of the school to be more “inclusive” or some shit. Played a few games on their home court in summer/offseason basketball tournaments. Lots of memories in St. George for me, so I wish Utah Tech a lot of luck after Saturday. I think there is a lot of potential at Utah Tech.

UNLV is going to beat Kansas this year. Coach O have been preparing for this game through recruiting....must my guess.
The first time that i pray that your are right. WE beat them and we are going to be TOP 25. Imagine if we could just put some sustainability in our program. IMO we have the most to work with outside METRO areas that are TOP 20 or fanbases that have a long history of tradition. Vegas is a brand in itself. Put it all together and we have more potential than 95% of college football. EASILY! We need to keep the flash. Vegas does not like boring play.

But again their attendance coming off a down year pretty close to what our good attendance was last year during a good year.
I hope the attendance is better than that, but honestly I think it could be very close to that.
Also UNLV is not a good drawing team for them. It's like us hosting the 3rd best team from the MAC or something
That was one good year after four mostly bad decades!

For a Big12 team, their attendance was terrible. Doesn’t matter who they were playing. It was their home opener.

Only Big12 team that had a lower attendance was Kansas, because they were playing at a soccer stadium with 20k seats (they sold out).

Doesn't appear that Houston has very good attendance with 25,750 showing up to watch them play UNLV. My expectation is UNLV will have a similar number of people attend against Utah Tech, and UNLV is a big jump up from Utah Tech in regards to being a draw! My expectation is if UNLV becomes ranked you will see very similar attendance by the end of the year as in the past at Houston.
There was definitely not anything close to 25K at the game. I would compare it to the Silver Bowl crowds before we moved to Allegiant.
